So the more I turn it over, the more I like the newer Future Harry theory I came up with. It's pretty raw, and does nothing to explain who attacked Harry but...
Listen. Harry Dresden is unstuck in time.
It would allow him to time travel while minimizing the, ah, let's call it the Two Bodies Problem (arranging things so Harry and Future Harry don't meet).
It would explain the line, "You are much easier to talk to when you are asleep, my host."
I'll further posit that Future Harry has ordered Lash to maintain the timestream by acting like Little Chicago is not fixed. (Broken timestream is inimical to everyone's survival, including Lasciel, whose spiritual self is bound to the material realm through the Coin.)
It would explain away the Two Mantles Problem as well. There's just one hitch with the Unstuck Harry theory:
Who hit Harry?
The accident is to make Harry think he has a concussion instead of too many people in his head, but Unstuck Harry would need an accomplice to do it. He has Thomas following him for the case until he needs to be rescued from Darby and Glau, so I posit that Thomas is the assailant in the beginning chapters.
Actually, I can explain that.
There are no witnesses to the accident. Earlier in the same car ride, Harry makes a big deal about how real Lash's illusions are. I've already posited that Unstuck Harry is working with Lash, so Lash could have created the illusion of the other car, tricked Harry into a non-fatal car crash, and used the concussion to hide the presence of Unstuck Harry in Harry's already crowded head.
It's official. Unstuck Harry is the new black.

I actually like that hit to be the bad guys screwing over the time line. Which then leads to a response by Team Dresden to counter it.

Grayson the cop said it looked like Harry (the beetle) got hit a couple times.

But to be fair it always looks like that, and harry did bounce around it traffic a bit, or at least curbside. It would take somebody that sees it often enough to recognize new damage, i would think. Murphy might have been able to spot what's fresh, or thomas
